Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair in Yoker without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What we’re called out for in Yoker

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Yoker

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Yoker.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
